found a fix for a bad mistake, whew
I carelessly left the background on the ironing surface when I was pressing the backing to the piece I was going to adhere. Of course, some of the edge glue got onto the background. Oh no!! What to do?
I tried lots of things but the thing that took that glue off was an ordinary pencil eraser!! It left some eraser marks but after I wiped it with a damp cloth, I can't tell where it was. The adhesive fibers on this piece was lengthwise so I erased it crosswise and the fibers just kind of rolled up. It did need to be a firm eraser rather than a softer one.
Just wanted to share in case it might help someone else along the way!! Hugs and smiles!
